    Is this what the Boots threads are normally like? Sorry, but no wonder they closed them :o :cool:

    Unfortunatley both my local stores wont budge on putting the coupons through seperatley but I will look out for the extra points coupon from the Advantage machine if it will help anyone? :D

    hello!
    i tried this yesterday and was also told only one voucher per transaction by sa- and had to put them through 1 at a time, i didn't really fight though so maybe she would have backed down if i had!!

    And again, perhaps we should all stop having a go at each other, this really is getting out of hand and downright nasty, it needs to stop.

    ok im new to boots and am confused! You go to the machine and it gives you £5 olay voucher and 500points when you spend £10, so you use the 2 vouchers get your item for £4 something and 500 points?

    Or can you use the print out olay voucher fromn the machine twice giving you £10 off olay and 500 points.?????

    Im so sorry to ask silly questions when everyone alse seems to understand but this is new to me and i dont understand!!! :confused::confused:

    any help would be graet thanks :D

    hi again
    this is at the begining of the thread

    "Go to a manned till (it doesn't work on Self Service), present your 2 Olay Total Effects Cleanser then 2 x £5 off vouchers, followed by your 500 points voucher"

    I know these are given out at the machine. And is it ok to use x2 £5 off in 1 purchase at the till, as well as the 500 pts voucher.

    Have i finally got it right???? coz i thought you could only use 1 £5 off voucher at a time......or is that the glitch?!!!!

    you get the 500 points from the ACM if you are lucky, the £5 off is given at the till when you spend £5 on your shopping. It can be redeemed on several different skin care brands.

    So you will need to give the sales assistant, 2x £5 off voucher and 1x 500 points voucher when purchasing 2x olay products. It only works on certain ones ie total effects.

    be aware that some people are being told they cannot use 2x£5 off vouchers in one transaction (as is usually stated on the vouchers)

    good luck

    Hi becky

    You need to spend £5 + in boots first, with your reciept you will get a £5 off facial skincare voucher, this is valid against olay fash wash at £5.86 so only 86p to pay and another £5 off voucher is given.

    However if you have an acm coupon for 500 points when you buy 2 olay products you need to do 2 transactions of £5 + plus spends first to get 2 x £5 off skincare vouchers then you get 2 x olay face wash and use 2 x £5 off facial skincare vouchers and 500 point coupon leaving you with £1.72 to pay and 500 points on your boots card and will be given another £5 off facial skincare voucher back hth

    But please be aware this does not get accepted in all boots as some SA's are refusing to let you use 2 vouchers in one transaction so you can't use the points one,

    I have been refused this in 3 boots now so it does appear to be random in which boots allow you to do this

    ok so b4 i even start i would need to spend £5 in 2 seperate transactions in order to get the 2 £5 off vouchers.

    So the short of it is...... I would need to spend £10 in order to get x2 £5 off vouchers. And even then, it might no work if the sa has been told no from head office
